Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39 I Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39i means choosing among boats built between 2005 and 2010, with Marc Lombard's hull and a deck laid out for straightforward short-handed cruising. Most examples you encounter will be ex-charter or privately owned, and the layout you pick shapes the whole ownership experience.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin versions are the more common find, though two-cabin boats are also available, and ex-charter examples are common. The two-cabin arrangement gives a large aft stateroom to starboard and a spacious head to port with a separate shower and seat. The three-cabin version trades that for twin aft cabins but shrinks the head considerably and drops the separate shower. Either way, all staterooms use fore-and-aft double berths, and the saloon carries opposing settees with the port settee running under the chart table.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, a bimini, autopilot, chartplotter, solar, teak decks, hot water, and cockpit shower are commonly fitted, so most boats will already suit casual coastal cruising. Heating, a dodger, life raft, radar, and both symmetric and asymmetric spinnakers are often seen. A frequent owner upgrade cluster centers on power and energy — an inverter and bow thruster sometimes appear, while electric winches and dinghy davits show up less often. For sail handling, a furling main and freezer are occasional additions rather than standard.
What to Inspect
The chainplates are bolted to the hull outboard, so examine those fasteners and the surrounding glass for any sign of movement or leakage at the hull outboard chainplate bond. The keel's long root footprint with elongated fillets and the bulb extending past the trailing edge deserve a close look for prior groundings or repair work. Confirm the life raft locker integrated into the stern skirt is intact and draining properly, since a compromised locker can let water into the cockpit structure.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats typically appear in the United States, Greece, Netherlands, France, Australia, and Italy. For a shopper, the priorities are clear:
- Decide early between the roomier two-cabin head and the flexible three-cabin layout
- Verify chainplate and keel-bulb condition before committing
- Check the stern life raft locker for water intrusion
- Expect commonly fitted comfort gear, but budget for owner-upgrade items like a bow thruster if you want them
